Ladapo - play him or not?

[gm_gm]

If Ladapo had picked up an injury in the Crewe game and was out for a couple of months, would there be general dismay amongst our fan base?

I think not.

So look at it that way, play Grigg or Kayode and move on

At least those sitting in row Z will feel a little safer

It’s definitely not a show stopper. I wondered why he didn’t celebrate his goal at Crewe, it was almost as though it didn’t mean anything to him

Tomorrow is a bit of a free hit. Chance for Freddie to show what he can do against championship opposition.
He has been a week premature.

He doesn't usually even connect with the ball, you're well and truly safe in row z

Looking forward to going tomorrow, nice to not have the pressures of the 3 points at stake. Free hit like has been said, no extra time please, I've got a train back to catch.

Our fans love a good booing so if we want that then play him. That’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t play him at NYS along with the fact that we also need to try and get the strikers who want to play with us into form.

I’m not too bothered if he plays at QPR or not. Hopefully he will be gone by the time we play our next league game.

I can see us loaning him out in this window with a view to triggering the extension clause at seasons end and then selling him in the summer.

Don't believe everything Warney says in public. He absolutely won't want Ladapo around the place now this has happened. The sooner he's out the better which leads me to think a loan is more likely (try before you buy for some club).

Look at it this way...
If you played at Gillingham or Bristol rovers or Cambridge or Exeter for example who could blame you for wanting to move back north?
Your families happiness & your own is what's most important.
Thanks Freddie for your service..now can we've on!!

agree with the above.

What to do what to do???

Not good how he’s dropped a bombshell like this but each to their own, the club owns his contract not his life.

Start Grigg? Not for me. All this talk of his link play with Smith sounds ok but, he was brought in to score goals as a forward but he ain’t delivering.

JJ, you can see and sense the enthusiasm from this lad and his urgency to score but, he’s far too lightweight. The QPR defence may well give him a torrid time that could knock his confidence starting and not delivering. A long way to go with his strength etc but, definitely one for the future as they say.

Ladapo? He’s still here, he’s on 12 goals in all comps so start him I say. I probably over reacted yesterday hearing the news but, on today’s reflection that’s what I’d do. If he has/ wants potential future employers then he has to show he’s got it, which surely has to be a win win all round.

agree with the last paragraph completely. There are some proper brain dead supporters on here.

So I'm brain dead because I wouldn't start Ladapo tomorrow?

Not read the thread, but of course he should be played if Warne thinks he is the right selection.

He's a bloke who's job is playing football. He is currently employed by Rotherham, but like any employee can do, he's given the matter some thought and wants to play somewhere else.

I doubt if it's 'personal' for him and it shouldn't be for anyone else. If his decision is based upon some sort of issue with the club, Warne or his teammates then that is something that should be taken into account when the decision is made as to whether to include him in the team. Otherwise if he wants to go, it's in his and the club's interest to play and put himself in the shop window.
